ENTERED ACCORDJNG TO ACT OF CONGRESS IN THE YEAR 1876 BY THE REV. JAMES 
PARK STUART AT THE 0FFIC3 OF THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS IN WASHING- 
TON D. C. 



ELECTROTYPED AT THE 

FRANKLIN TYPE FOUNDRY, 

CINCINNATI. 



PKEFACE. 



In preparing a Liturgy for the New Church, our aim 
has been to combine the practical mid useful features of 
the Liturgies heretofore in use, to remove their redun- 
dancies, and supply their deficiencies. Not trusting to 
our own judgment, we have carefully collected the views 
of the church generally, taking pains to gather together 
the advice of all who were disposed to give it. 

The Doctrines of the New Church teach that with 
every one who is of the Church there ought to be both 
an external and an internal ; otherwise, there is with 
him no spiritual life, for the internal is as the soul, and 
the external as the body of the soul; but those who are 
in externals, and not at the same time in internals, are 
not of the Church : all are in both who are in the good 
of life according to the doctrines of their Church; but 
those who are in worship, and not at the same time in 
the good of life according to the doctrines of the Church 
are in externals without internals. A. C. 8762. 

Worship in the internal sense means all conjunction by 
love and charity. Man is continually in worship when 
he is in love and charity; external worship is only an 
effect. The angels are in such worship; wherefore with 
them there is a perpetual Sabbath ; thence also, in the 
internal sense, the Sabbath signifies the kingdom of the 
Lord. But man, while he is in the world, ought not to 
be otherwise than in external worship also for from ex- 

(iii) 



IV PREFACE. 

ternal worship the internals are excited; and by external 
worship the externals are kept holy, so that the internals 
can flow in. Besides this, man is thus imbued with 
knowledges, and prepared for receiving heavenly things ; 
as also he is endowed with states of holiness though he 
knows it not; and these states are preserved to him by 
the Lord, for the use of eternal life ; for, in the other 
life, all the states of his life return. A. C. 1618. 

How momentous, according to these doctrines, the 
importance of external worship in furthering man's re- 
generation, and how incumbent, therefore, the duty of 
providing for it forms and arrangements that are, as far 
as possible, complete and faultless! 

The forms of worship herein set forth are varied and 
numerous, and the arrangement plain and simple, follow- 
ing the natural order as now generally understood in 
the New Church. First, we have the forms of humilia- 
tion before the Lord in Prayer; second, instruction 
from the Word in the Commandments, the Doctrines, 
and the Lessons; third, the lifting up of the voice 
in thanksgiving, adoration, and praise; and finally the 
worship continued and concluded in the unfoldings of 
the glories of the Word as things new and old are brought 
out by the Minister, and set forth before the People. 

These several acts in the worship are in a degree dis- 
tinct from each other, and yet so interlaced by certain 
transitional forms, and by the devotional element every- 
where infused by means of the responses to the Com- 
mandments, the Doctrines, and the Lessons, that the 
whole service is woven into a unity of form, and be- 
comes really one and undivided. 

We have taken, as the basis of the varied forms in 



PREFACE. 



the Morning Worship, the Leading Doctrine* <>f (he 
Church, namely those 4 concerning the Lord, the Word, 
Faith, and Life; aa well also as the Second Coming of 
the Lord, the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, and the 
Incarnation of the Lord, His Advent, Resurrection, 
Ascension, and Glorification. In this way we have va- 
rietv in unity, and the worshiper is led, from time to 
time, into the devout contemplation and worship of the 
Lord in the numerous aspects of His Divine Humanity 
as revealed in the Word, and in the Faith and Life of 
the Church. This seemed preferable to the method here- 
tofore in use which makes the basis of the several forms 
the rotation of time, as the w T eeks and days of the 
month. 

The Evening Worship is arranged on a different 
basis; its forms are compact and simple, and the element 
of thanksgiving and adoration more largely infused. 

The Book of Doctrines supplies the desideratum of a 
convenient and reliable summary of the faith of the 
Xew Church, showing what constitutes the New Church 
man, and what are the essential principles of the Church 
itself. 

In the Book of Prayers will be found a manual of de- 
votion sufficient, we think, for all practical purposes, 
both public and private. In this part of the work are 
gathered together and set forth in their simplicity and 
beauty many gems of devotional thought, and aspira- 
tion, Confession, Prayer, and Thanksgiving. 

In the Psalter are forty selections for responsive read- 
ing, arranged under heads answering to the four Leading 
Doctrines. In these will be found the Psalms that are 
more especially adapted to responsive reading. In the 



VI PREFACE. 



arrangement for reading, the Ternaries of the original 
Scripture are preserved, inasmuch as the effect of the 
utterance is heightened by the Minister and People say- 
ing the third line in concert. 

We have one hundred and thirty-six Selections for 
Chanting, about half the number in the Liturgy of 
1854. The favorite selections and chants of the old 
book are retained. Many chants of great beauty and 
power are added ; some of them new and some old. 
The divisions of the lines for the cadence in chanting 
have been most carefully considered, and the style of 
chanting improved and made natural, flowing, and easy, 
so that the chanting may, as far as possible, accord with 
impressive reading. 

In arranging the hymns, we have had much diffi- 
culty in finding those that were faultless. The number 
before us was very large. We have endeavored to 
make the selection acceptable and useful, and free from 
the false doctrines that are so apt to lie concealed in pop- 
ular hymns. Many a bad hymn holds its place 'from 
the beauty of a single stanza in it, or it may be of a 
single line; and many a good hymn is spoiled by a 
faulty stanza, or it may be by an inadmissible line. Of 
the one hundred and twenty herein set forth many re- 
quired amendment, some in respect to a word or two 
here and there, some in respect to a line or a stanza. 
These, as we often found, not only brought the hymn 
into harmony with the truth, but also into harmony 
with itself, making it in every way more euphonious 
and beautiful. 

The Tunes set to the Hymns are of easy utterance, 
and well adapted to congregational singing; in fact, 



PREFACE. Vii 

wry many of the tunes are the old favorites known and 
admired even -where. 

The parts of the Sacred Scripture used in this work 

are translated anew. Fealty to tin 4 truth required this 
at our hands. The forms of worship being so largely in 
the very words of the Scripture, we could not injustice 
continue to produce, in these forms, the numerous errors 
of the common version. Xor was a mere revision, of the 
common version sufficient. This we have had in our 
Liturgies heretofore published ; and in this way some 
of the grosser errors were removed, but in the end an 
unsatisfactory patchwork remained, while the natural 
beauty of the common version w T as essentially marred 
and broken up. We have a sufficient reason therefore 
for a thorough and complete ?'etranslation, for we ac- 
knowledge the ineffable holiness of the Word, and the 
momentous importance of preserving whole and entire 
its literal sense, inasmuch as in this, Divine Truth is in 
its fullness, its sanctity, and its pow r er. 

The translators under King James give us a version 
remarkable for the beauty and perfection of its style, 
but often unfair and unfaithful in its renderings of the 
original. They often tamper with the sacred text, re- 
moving into the margin the truer renderings, and giving 
ns in the text interpretations instead of literal transla- 
tions ; and often adding in italics w T ords and phrases that 
mar the sense and pervert the truth. And, indeed, had 
this version been faultless when published in 1613, from 
the modifications of our language, it w T ould, by this time, 
need amendment and renewal. 

But beyond this, by the revelations made for the New 
Church, the Word itself is unfolded anew : its myster- 



Vlll PREFACE. 

ies solved, its spiritual sense revealed, and the astound- 
ing fact brought to light, that the Lord is the Word, 
that is, the essential Divine Truth within it. Then 
also from the revelation of the spiritual sense and the 
correspondence of the literal sense with it, the relation 
is at once demonstrated between the Divine Love and 
Wisdom in the interiors of the Word, and the expres- 
sion of the same in the forms of the literal sense, and 
the holiness of the letter of the Word is immeasurably 
enhanced. What a flood of light these new doctrines 
must throw upon the Word, and how indispensable must 
be knowledge of these things to a faithful translation of 
the original forms of speech in the literal sense into the 
equivalent expressions in English, or in any other 
modern language ! 

In Swedexborg we have the most indubitable 
authority for a new T translation. In his writings, 
three Books of the Word entire are retranslated, and 
many of the more difficult parts of the other Books. A 
strong foundation is thus laid for our work, and with 
great confidence of a happy result, well may we patiently 
leave our w T ork with the Divine Providence of the Lord.

I WILL extol Thee my God, O King:

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised :

Praise is comely for the upri 



Confess to t lie Lord on the harp 

Play unto Him on an instrument of ten strings. 
Sing unto 1 1 i in a new song : 

Play well with a loud noise. 
For the Word of the Lord is right : 

And all His works are in truth. 
lie loveth justice and judgment: 

The earth is full of the loving-kindness of the Lord. 
By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made: 

And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth, 
lie gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap : 

He giveth the abyss in treasuries. 
Let all the earth fear the Lord: 

Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 
For He speaketh, and it is : 

He commandeth, and it standetli fast. 
The Lord bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought: 

He maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect. 
The counsel of the Lord standetli forever : 

The thoughts of His heart to generation and generation. 
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: 

The people whom He hath chosen for His inheritance. 
The Lord looketh from the heavens; He beholdeth all the sons 
of man : 

From His established seat, He vieweth all the inhabitants of 
the earth. 
He formeth their hearts together: 

He taketh heed to all their works. 
No king is saved by the multitude of an host: 

A mighty man' is not delivered by much power. 
A horse is a false thing for safety : 

And he shall not escape by his great strength. 
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them- that fear Him : 

Upon them that hope in His loving-kindness. 
To deliver their soul from death : 

And to keep them alive in famine. 
Our soul waiteth for the Lord: 

He is our help and our shield. 
For our heart is glad in Him : 

Because we trust in the name of His holiness. 
Let Thy loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us: 

According as we hope in Thee.

Behold in iniquity I was brought forth: 

And in sin did my mother conceive me. 
Behold Thou desirest truth in the reins: 

And in the hidden part Thou makest me to know wisdom. 
Thou wilt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : 

Thou wilt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 
Thou wilt make me to hear joy and gladness : 

The bones which Thou hast crushed shall exult. 
Hide Thy face from my sins : 

And blot out all mine iniquities. 
Create in me a clean heart, O God : 

And renew a firm spirit within me. 
Cast me not away from Thy face : 

And take not the Spirit of Thy holiness from me. 
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation : 

And let a willing spirit uphold me.

And sinners shall be converted unto Thee. 
Deliver me from blood, O God, Thou God of my salvation : 

My tongue shall sing aloud of Thy justice. 
O Lord, open Thou my lips : 

And my mouth shall shew forth Thy praise. 
Thou art not delighted with sacrifice that I should give it: 

Burnt offering Thou dost not accept. 
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit : 

A broken and contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. 
Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion : 

Build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.

WORD WHICH IS FROM HIM AND IS HIMSELF. THIS COMING OF THE LORD IS 
NOT TO DESTROY THE VISIBLE HEAVEN AND THE HABITABLE EARTH, AND TO 
CREATE A NEW HEAVEN, AND A NEW EARTH, AS MANY HAVE HITHERTO 
SUPPOSED, BIT TO OPEN AND REVEAL THE ARCANA OF TIIE WORD, TO 
REDUCE ALL THINGS TO ORDER IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD, AND TO ESTAB- 
LISH ON THE EARTH A NEW CHURCH FOUNDED IN THE GENUINE TRUTHS OF 
THE INTERNAL SENSE OF THE WORD.

BEHOLD, I send mine angel, and he shall prepare the

suddenly come to His temple, and the angel of the cove- 
nant whom ye desire: behold He shall come, saith the 
Lord of Hosts.

And streams in the solitude. 
And the dry place shall become a lake : • 

And the thirsty place springs of water.

There shall be grass for reeds and rushes. 
And a highway shall be there, and a way : 

And it shall be called the way of holiness.

But it shall be for those :

Nor any ravenous beast shall go up therein.

heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 
And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying: 
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will 
dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and He 
himself, the God, will be with them, their God. And 
God will wipe away all tears from their eyes ; and death 
shall be no more, neither sorrow nor crying, nor shall 
labor be any more : for the former things have passed 
away. And He that sat upon the throne said: Behold, 

I make all things new.

away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and 
showed me the Great City, the Holy Jerusalem, coming 
down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God : 
and her luminary like unto a stone most precious, even 
like a jasper stone, as crystal : having a wall great and 
high, having twelve gates, and over the gates twelve 
angels, and names written thereon, which are the names 
of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. On the east 
three gates ; on the north three gates ; on the south 
three gates ; and on the west three gates. And the wall 
of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the 
names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to 
shine in it : for the glory of God did lighten it, and the 
Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them 
that are saved shall walk in the light of it : and the kings 
of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. And 
the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day : for there 
shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory 
and honor of the nations into it. And there shall in no 
Avise enter into it any thing that defileth, or worketh 
abomination, and a lie: but they that are written in the 
Lamb's book of life.

AND he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear 
as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and 
of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and of the 
river on this side, and on that, is the tree of life bearing 
twelve fruits, and yielded her fruit every month : and the 
leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. And 
there shall be no more curse. And the throne of God 
and of the Lamb shall be in it : and His servants shall 
serve Him : and they shall see His face : and His name 
shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night 
there : and they need no candle, neither light of the sun: 
for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall 
reign for ages of ages.

TRULY, my soul is silent unto God : 
From Him is my salvation. 
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my high tower: 

I shall not be greatly moved. 
How long will ye assail a man : 

Will ye all break in as a bowing wall, a tottering fence ? 
They only consult to cast Him down from His eminence : 

They take pleasures in falsehood. 
They bless with their mouth : 

But inwardly they curse. Selah. 
Truly, be thou silent unto God, O my soul: 

For my hope is in Him. 
He alone is my rock, and my salvation, my high tower : 

I shall not be moved. 
In God is my salvation and my joy : 

The rock of my strength, and my refuge is in God. 
Trust in Him at all times, ye people : 

Pour out your heart before Him : 
God is a refuge for us. Selah. 
Surely the sons of man are nought : 

A lie, the sons of man : 

Weighed in the balance, they are altogether lighter than 
vanity. 
Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery : 

If riches increase, set not your heart upon them. 
Once hath God spoken, these two things have I heard : 

That strength is unto God : 
And unto Thee, O Lord, is mercy: 

For Thou renderest unto man according to his work.

MY heart BWelleth with a good word : 
I speak of my works to the King. 
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer: 

Thou art beautiful above the sons of man : 
Graee is poured on thy lips : 

Therefore God blesseth thee forever. 
Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O Mighty One : 

Thy majesty and honor. 
And let Thine honor ride forth : 

Upon the Word of truth. 
And of the mildness of justice: 

And Thy right hand shall teach Thee wonderful things. 
Thine arrows are sharp, people fall before Thee: 

In the heart of the enemies of the King. 
Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: 

The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy kingdom. 
Thou lovest justice, and hatest wickedness : 

Therefore hath God anointed Thee. 
Thy God, with the oil of joy above thy companions: 

All thy clothes with myrrh, aloes, and cassia: 
Out of ivory palaces they have made Thee glad. 
King's daughters are among Thy precious ones : 

On Thy right standeth the queen in the best gold of Ophir. 
Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear : 

Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house. 
Then shall the King greatly desire thy beauty : 

For He is thy Lord : 

And bow thyself down before Him. 
And the daughter of Tyre shall bring a gift : 

The rich among the people shall entreat thy faces. 
The King's daughter is all glorious within : 

Her vestment with embroidery of gold. 
In raiment of needle-work she is brought to the Kins:: 

The virgins, her friends, are brought after her to Thee. 
With gladness and exultation they are brought : 

They come unto the palace of the King. 
In the place of thy fathers are thy sons : 

Thou makest them princes in all the earth. 
I will make Thy name to be remembered from generation to 
generation : 
That the people may confess thee forever and ever.

rpiIE Sacred Scriptures announce the Second Coming 
JL of the Lord, to execute the Last Judgment, and to 
establish the New Jerusalem, which is a New Dispensa- 
tion, and a New Church. It is written: 

I SAW in visions of the night, and behold, with the 
clouds of the heavens, He came like the Son of Man : 
and He came unto the Ancient of Days, and they brought 
Him near before Him. And there was given to Him do- 
minion, and glory, and a kingdom : and all peoples, na- 
tions, and tongues shall worship Him : His dominion is a 
dominion of ages, which shall not pass away, and His 
kingdom which shall not be destroyed. — Daniel vii. 13, 14. 

IMMEDIATELY after the affliction of those days 
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not 
give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and 
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then 
shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven : and 
then shall all the tribes of the earth wail, and they 
shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven 
with power and great glory. And He shall send His 
angels with a great voice of a trumpet, and they shall 

gather together His elect from the four winds, from

the ends of the heavens to the ends of them. — Matthew 
xxiv. 29-31. 

AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth : for the 
first heaven and the first earth were passed away ; 
and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the Holy 
City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of 
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 
And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying : Behold, 
the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell 
"with them, and they shall be His people, and He Himself, 
the God, Avill be with them, their God. And God will 
wipe away all tears from their eyes ; and death shall be 
no more, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor shall labor be 
any more : for the former things are passed away. And 
He that sat upon the throne said: Behold, I make all 
things new. — Rev. xxi. 1-5. 

From the True Christian Religion. 

THE Faith of the New Heaven and the New Church, 
in a universal and particular form, is prefixed, that 
it may be as a frontispiece to what follows ; and as a gate 
of entrance, and as a general summary. It is called the 
Faith of the New Heaven and the New T Church, because 
the heaven where the angels are, and the church in 
which men are, make one, like the internal and external 
man : and, in the New Heaven, which the Lord is at 
this day establishing, this is the Faith, its Frontispiece, 
Gate, and Summary. 

i. 

The Faith of the New Heaven and the New Church, 
in its Universal Form, is this: 



Tin: doctrines. 105 



The LORk) from eternity, who is Jehovah, came into 
the world, that lie might subdue the hells, and glorify 
His Humanity. Without this, no mortal could have 
tfeen saved ; and all are saved who believe in Him. The 
universal principles of this faith are these: God is one in 
essence and in person, in whom is the Divine Trinity ; 
and the Lord God the Savior Jesus Christ is this God. 
No mortal eould have been saved unless the Lord had 
come into the world. He came into the world to re- 
move hell from man; which He did by combats against 
it, and victories over it; in which He subdued it, and 
reduced it to order, and under obedience to Himself. He 
came into the world to glorify His Humanity, which 
He assumed in the world ; that is, to unite it with the 
Divinity, of which it was begotten : He thus keeps hell 
eternally in order, and under obedience. As this could 
be done only by means of the temptations wherewith He 
suffered His Humanity to be assaulted, even to the last 
and most extreme of all, which was His passion of the 
cross, He therefore endured that also. 

n. 
The L^niversal Form of faith on man's part is this : 
He must believe in the Lord : for by believing in Him, 
he has conjunction with Him; and by conjunction, salva- 
tion. To believe in Him is to have confidence that He 
will save : and since no one can have such confidence, but 
he that leads a good life, therefore, this is also implied in 
believing in Him. 

in. 
The Faith of the Xew Heaven and the Xew Church, 
in its Particular Form, is this: 



106 BOOK OF DOCTRINES. 

Jehovah God is essential Love and essential Wisdom; 
or, He is essential Good and essential Truth ; and as to 
the Divine Truth, which is the Word, and which was 
God with God, He came down, and took upon Himself 
human nature, for the purpose of reducing to order all 
things in heaven, and in hell, and in the church ; since 
at that time, the power of hell prevailed over the power 
of heaven ; and on earth, the power of evil over the 
power of good; in consequence whereof a total damna- 
tion was at hand, and threatened every creature. This 
impending damnation Jehovah God removed by His 
Humanity, which was the Divine Truth, and thus He re- 
deemed both angels and men ; and afterward He united 
in His Humanity, Divine Truth with Divine Good, or, 
Divine Wisdom with Divine Love, and thus returned 
into His Divinity, in which He was from eternity, 
together with and in His glorified Humanity. 

TV. 

The Particulars of Faith on man's part, are these : 
God is one, in whom is the Divine Trinity, and He is 
the Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ: Saving faith is 
to believe on Him: Evil actions ought not to be done, 
because they are of the devil and from the devil : Good 
actions ought to be done, because they are of God and 
from God : And a man ought to do them as of himself; 
nevertheless, under this belief, that they are from the 
Lord, operating with him and by him. — T. C. R., 1, 2, 3.

do not approach the Lord alone, and who do not repent of their 
evil deeds, are in the Church indeed, but have nothing of the 
Church in them. — A. B. 69. 

The New Church consists of those who confess and acknowl- 
edge from the heart that the Lord is the God of heaven and 
earth, and that His Humanity is Divine, and who are conjoined 
with Him by a life according to the Precepts of the Decalogue. —

JEHOVAH GOD, the Creator and Preserver of heaven and 
earth, is Love itself, and Wisdom itself, or Good itself, and 
Truth itself. He is One, in Essence and in Person, in whom is 
the Divine Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, which are 
the Essential Divinity, the Divine Humanity, and the Divine 
Proceeding of the one God. And this one God in His Divine 
Humanity is the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

ii. 
Jehovah God himself descended from heaven as the Divine 



108 BOOK OF DOCTRINES. 

Truth which is the Word, and took upon Him Human Nature 
that He might remove from man the powers of hell, and reduce 
to order all things in heaven, and all things in hell, and all 
things in the church. He removed from man the overwhelming 
powers of hell by combats against them, and victories over them, 
and in this consisted the work of Redemption. By His tempta- 
tion-combats, the last of which was the passion of the cross, He 
united in His Humanity, Divine Truth with Divine Good, or 
Divine Wisdom with Divine Love, and in His glorified Human- 
ity returned into His Divinity, in which He was from eternity; 
whence He forever keeps the infernal powers in subjection to 
Himself, and is able to save all who believe in Him with the 
understanding from the heart, and live accordingly. 

in. 
The Sacred Scripture or Word of God is Divine truth itself, 
containing a Spiritual Sense within the Literal Sense, whence 
it is divinely inspired and holy in every syllable. The Literal 
Sense is the basis of the Spiritual Sense, and in it Divine Truth 
is in its fullness, its sanctity, and its power. Thus the Word is 
accommodated to the conditions both of angels and of men. 
The Spiritual and Natural Senses are united by correspond- 
ence. 

IV. 

The government of the Lord's Divine Love and Wisdom is 
the Divine Providence, which is Universal, and is exercised 
according to the laws of Divine Order, and extends to every 
particular of the life of man, both of the good and of the evil. 
In all its operations the Divine Providence has respect to what 
is infinite and eternal, and regards things transitory only as they 
are subservient to eternal ends. The continual aim of the Lord 
in His Divine Providence is to conjoin man with Himself and 
Himself with man, that He may give him the felicities of eter- 
nal life. The Laws of Permission are also Laws of the Divine 
Providence, because evil can not be forcibly prevented without 
destroying the freedom of man, and because also evil can not 
be removed unless it be known, and it can not be known unless 



THE DOCTRENEB. 109 



it appear. Thus no evil is permitted bat to prevent a greater 

evil, and :ill ii overruled in the Lord's Divine Providence for 

the greatest possible good. 

v. 
Max is not Life, but is a recipient of life from the Lord; 
who, inasmuch as lie is Love itself and Wisdom itself, is also 
Life itself, which Life is communicated by influx to all in the 
spiritual world, whether in heaven or in hell, and to all in the 
natural world ; but it is received differently by every one accord- 
ing to his quality and state. 

VI. 

Max during his abode in the world is, as to his spirit, in the 
midst between heaven and hell. He is acted upoit by influences 
from both, and is thus kept in a state of equilibrium between 
good and evil : consequently he has freedom in spiritual things 
as well as iu natural things, and has the capacity of turning 
himself either to the Lord and His kingdom, or away from the 
Lord and His kingdom. Without such freedom man could 
not be conjoined with the Lord, and the cause of evil would be 
chargeable on God Himself. 

YII. 

Max is born in evil of all kinds, and thus with tendencies 
toward sin : he must therefore be created anew or regenerated 
in order that he may enter the kingdom of heaven. Regenera- 
tion is a progressive w T ork wrought by the Lord, with man's 
cooperation in a life of charity and faith. As all men are 
redeemed, all may be regenerated and saved, each according to 
his state. The regenerate man is in communion with angels of 
heaven, and the unregenerate with spirits of hell. No one is 
condemned for hereditary evil, unless he makes it his own by 
actual life : consequently all who die in infancy are received by 
the Lord in the other life and saved. 

VIII. 
Rrpextax( E is the beginning of the Church in man. In 
repentance a man must examine himself in regard to his motives, 



110 BOOK OF DOCTRINES. 

intentions, endeavors, and deeds; must know bis sins, and con- 
fess them before the Lord; must supplicate Him for help, and 
begin a new life. To this end all evils, whether of affection of 
thought or of life, must be shunned .because they are sins 
against God, and proceed from infernal spirits called the Devil 
and Satan : and good affections and true thoughts must be 
cherished and good deeds done, because they are of God and 
from God. These things are to be done by man as of himself, 
in the belief and acknowledgment that he does them from the 
Lord operating in him and by him. So far as man shuns evils 
as sins they are forgiven and removed, and he then does good 
not from himself but from the Lord; and in the same degree 
lie also loves truth, has faith, and is a spiritual man. The 
Ten Commandments teach what evils are sins. 

IX. 

In order that man may be saved, Charity, Faith, and Good 
Works must be united in him ; because Charity without Faith 
is not spiritual but natural;' and Faith without Charity is not 
living but dead; and both Charity and Faith without Good 
Works are mere mental abstractions and perishable, being with- 
out use or fixedness. Charity, Faith, and Good Works are not 
of man, but of the Lord alone; nor does man merit any thing 
by cooperating with the Lord, for all merit is also of the Lord 
alone. 

x. 

Baptism and the Holy Supper are Sacraments instituted by 
the Lord, to be perpetually observed in the Church. 

The use of Baptism is introduction into the Church, and at 
the same time insertion into societies of Christians in the spirit- 
ual world. Baptism is also a sign and memorial that the man 
can be regenerated and saved by means of truths from the Word. 

The Holy Supper contains all things of the Church and all 
things of heaven ; and to those wjio receive it worthily, it effects 
consociation with the angels and conjunction with the Lord, of 
which also it is a sign and seal.

XI. 

DEATH is the putting off of the material body and man's 
release from it. The material body returns to the natural ele- 
ments, never more to be resumed. Immediately after death 
man is raised up by the Lord, and lives openly and consciously 
in the spiritual world, in a spiritual and substantial body: there 
lie will live forever, and after the necessary preparation in the 
intermediate state or world of spirits, he is taken up into heaven 
if his ruling affections and his life are good ; but if his ruling 
affections. and life are evil he casts himself into hell. 

XII. 

Now is the time of the Second Advent of the Lord, which is 
a coming not in person, but in the power and glory of His Holy 
Word. In His second coming the Lord has restored to order 
all things in the spiritual world, where He performed the Last 
Judgment, and prepared the way for a New Church on the 
earth. This New or Second Christian Church is the Church 
representatively seen by John, when he beheld the Holy City, 
New Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared 
as a Bride adorned for her husband. This New and True Chris- 
tian Church, which the Lord at this day is establishing, is to 
endure to all eternity, and to be the crown of all preceding 
churches. That it was foreseen from the creation of the world 
may be proved from the Word of both Testaments. In the New 
Church there will be spiritual peace, glory, and internal blessed- 
ness of life, because there will be true Faith and true Charity.

2. Saving Faith is to believe in Him as the Creator, Redeemer, 
and Savior. 

3. The Sacred Scripture, or the Word, is Divine Truth Itself. 
Within the literal sense it has a spiritual sense, in virtue of 
which it is divinely inspired and holy in every expression ; and 
it is thus accommodated to the condition of angels and of men. 
It is given that we may know the way of life, be delivered from 
evil, and come into consociation with the angels, and into con- 
junction with the Lord. 

4. We must shun evils as sins against God, and because they 
are of the devil and from the devil ; and we must do good, 
because it is of God and from God. 

5. In abstaining from evil, and in doing good, we are to act 
as of ourselves; but we must, at the same time, believe and 
acknowledge that the will, the understanding, and the power to 
do so are from the Lord alone.

(Concerning tfje £eben precepts of ILtfe, 

Fuom: the True Christian Religion. 

SO far as a man shuns evils, he must will good, because evils 
and goods are opposites : for evils are from hell, and goods 
are from heaven ; therefore, so far as hell, that is, evil is removed, 
heaven draws near, and man regards what is good. As for 
example : 

I. So far as any one does not worship other gods, he worships 
the true God. 

II. So far as any one does not take the name of God in vain, 
he loves whatever is from God. 

III. So far as any one wills not to commit murder and to 
indulge hatred and revenge, he wills well to his neighbor. 

IV. So far as any one wills not to commit adultery, he wills 
to live in chastity with his wife. 

V. So far as any one wills not to steal, he lives according to 
the law of sincerity. 

VI. So far as any one wills not to bear false witness, he wills 
to think and speak the truth. 



114 BOOK OF DOCTRINES. 



YII. So far as any one does not covet what is his neighbor's, 
he wills well to his neighbor in his possessions. 

The commandments, therefore, contains all things relating to 
love to God, and love toward our neighbor. — T. C. E. 330.

i. 

NO one can, of himself, shun evils as sins and do good 
which may be good in the sight of God: but so far as any 
one shuns evils as sins, he does what is good, not of himself, but 
from the Lord. 

n. 
A MAN ought to shun evils as sins, and to fight against them 
as of himself; and if he shuns evils from any other motive than 
because they are sins, he does not shun them, but only prevents 
them from appearing in the light of the world. — T. C. E. 330. 

<Efje £amir Scripture 

THE Bible contains Booh of two kinds : First, the Books 
that are given by the dictation of the Lord as His 
Word, and are written by correspondence, and have the 
spiritual sense in a connected series: and Second, the 
Books that are not written according to correspondence, 
and have not the spiritual sense. 

The Books of the Word, in the Old Testament, are the 
five books of Moses, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Num- 
bers, Deuteronomy, the book of Joshua, the book of 
Judges, the two books of Samuel, the two books of the 
Kings, the Psalms of David ; the Prophets, Isaiah,

THE DOCTRINES. I 15 



The Books of the Word, in the New Testament, are the 
lour Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; and 
the Apocalypse, 

The other Books of the Bible arc not written in the 
style of the Word, nor arc they dictated by the Lord 
Himself as His Word. They have in them no internal 
sense, in a connected series; though some of them are 
written in a degree according to correspondences. 

While the Books of the Word have an immediate 
communication with the Lord and with heaven, by means 
of their spiritual sense, the other books, having all their 
meaning in the literal sense, communicate only mediately 
or indirectly with heaven. But the Apostolic writings 
are excellent Books for the Church, insisting on the 
doctrines of love and faith taught by the Lord in the 
Gospels and in the Book of Revelation.

contain the Divine revelation of the internal or spiritual 
sense of the Sacred Scripture, in which the Divinity of 
the Word resides. This internal or spiritual sense of the 
Word is the Heavenly Doctrine of the New Jerusalem, 
in which the Lord comes again to establish His New 
Church on earth. The Theological writings of Sweden-

OXE thing do I desire of the Lord, that do I seek 
after : that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all 
the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, 
and to go in the morning into His temple. 

Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye 
upon Him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his 
way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts; and let 
him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon 
him; and to our God, for He will multiply his forgive- 
ness. 

From the rising of the sun even unto the going down

AVherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow 
myself before the High God? Shall I come before him 
with burnt offerings, with calves the sons of a year? 
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with 
ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born 
for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sins of 
my soul?

and love mercy, and to humble thyself to walk with thy 
God? 

The hour cometh, and now is, when the true wor- 
shipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth : 
for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is 
Spirit ; and they that worship Him, must worship in spirit 
and in truth. 

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, 
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and 
learn of me ; for I am meek and lowly in heart : and ye 
shall find rest unto your souls. 

I am the vine ; ye are the branches : he hath abideth 
in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. 
For without me ye can do nothing. If any one abide not 
in me, he is cast out as a branch, and is withered ; and 
they gather them, and cast into the fire, and they are 
burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, 
ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you ; 
seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened unto 
you. For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that 
seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be 
opened. 

If ye, being evil, know to give good gifts unto your 
children, how much more shall the Heavenly Father give 
the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him ? 

Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree 
on earth, as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall 
be done for them of my Father who is in heaven : for 
where two or three are gathered together in my name, 
there am I in the midst of them. 

All things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believe that 
ye receive, and it shall be unto you. And when ye stand 
praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any ; that your

ant, now languishing under great bodily weakness. Look 
upon him with compassion; visit him, O Lord, with Thy salva- 
tion ; grant him resignation to Thy will, and perfect his regenera- 
tion. Let his confidence be in Thy never-failing mercy, and his 
hope in Thy Word; let Thy Holy Spirit be his comfort and sup- 
port, and give Thy angels charge over him. that they may lead 
Mm in peace and safety, into those heavenly mansions, where 
they dwell who die in Thee, in the light of Thy presence, and in 
the enjoyment of Thy love forever. Amen.

BAPTISM. 



H T)ie Candidates for Baptism standing before the Font, or the Parents or 
Guardians presenting their children, the Minister will say : 

ALL authority is given unto me in heaven and earth. 
Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations; 
baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the 
Son, and of the Holy Spirit : teaching them to keep all 
things whatsoever I have commanded you : and lo, I am 
with you all the days, until the consummation of the 
age. Amen. Matt, xxviii. 18-20. 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee : Except a man be born 
of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the 
kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh ; 
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel 
not that I said unto thee: Ye must be born again. The 
Spirit doth breathe where it willeth, and thou hearest the 
sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and 
whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the 
Spirit. John iii. 5-8. 

Repent : for the kingdom of the heavens hath come 
nigh. Matt. iv. 17. 

And they brought young children unto Him, that He 
should touch them : and the disciples rebuked those that 

brought them. But when Jesus saw it He was much 

(145) 



146 BAPTISM. 

displeased, and said unto them : Suffer the little children 
to come unto me, and forbid them not ; for of such is the 
kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you : Whosoever 
will not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he 
shall not enter therein. And He took them up in His 
arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them. Mark 
x. 13-16. 

Ci)e Stoctrme of ISapttam. 

BAPTISM was instituted to be a sign that a man is of the 
Church, and to be a memorial that he is to be regenerated : 
for the washing of Baptism is nothing else than spiritual wash- 
ing, which is regeneration. All regeneration is effected by the 
Lord by means of the truths of faith, and a life according to 
them. Baptism, therefore, is a testification that a man is of the 
Church, and that he can be regenerated : for in the Church the 
Lord is acknowledged who alone regenerates, and there also is 
the Word which contains the truths of faith by which regenera- 
tion is effected. 

This the Lord teaches in John : Except a man be born of 
water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of 
God. (iii. 5.) Water, in the spiritual sense, is the truth of faith 
from the Word : the Spirit is a life according to that truth: and 
to be born is to be regenerated thereby. 

Since every one who is regenerated also undergoes temptations 
which are spiritual combats against evils and falsities, these 
are also signified by the water of Baptism. Inasmuch as Bap- 
tism is for a sign and memorial of these things, therefore man 
may be baptized as an infant, and if not in his infancy, he may 
be baptized as an adult. 

Let those, therefore, who are baptized know that Baptism 
itself confers neither faith nor salvation, but that it testifies that 
they may receive faith and be saved if they are regenerated. 
Hence may be seen the import of the Lord's words in Mark : 
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved : and he that 



BAPTISM. 147 



believeth not shall be condemned, (xvi. 16.) He that believeth 
is lie that acknowledgeth the Lord and receiveth Divine Truth 
from 1 1 i m by the Word: he that is baptized is he that is regen- 
erated by the Lord by means of these truths. 

The First Use of Baptism is introduction into the Christian 
Church, and at the same time insertion among Christians in the 
spiritual world. 

The Second Use of Baptism is that the Christian may know 
and acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ the Kedeemer and 
Savior, and follow Him. 

The Third Use of Baptism is that man may be regenerated. 

As soon as infants are baptized, angels are appointed over 
them by the Lord, to take care of them ; by whom they are 
kept in a state of receiving faith in the Lord. 

<[ The Minister shall then say : 

ALL who are baptized are to be initiated into the 
knowledge and acknowledgment of the Lord Jesus 
Christ that they may follow Him, for He is God, who 
is One in Essence, and in Person, and in whom is the 
Divine Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is 
the AVord, in Him is life: and the life is the light of men: 
and he that followeth Him shall not walk in darkness, 
but shall have the light of life.

ing faith in the Lord, as the Redeemer and Savior, and be

with Him, you must live according to the precepts of His 
Word ?

and lead him by Thy Holy Spirit into everlasting life.

US from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power,

| The Minister naming the Candidate for Baptism, will apply the water to his 
forehead, and say:

the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 

r Or this:

Christ, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

THE Lord bless thee, and keep thee : the Lord make 
His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee : 
the Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give 
thee peace. 

f[ After the Baptism of Adults, the Minister will say to them : 

AS you are now introduced into the New Church, and 
have taken upon yourself the Christian name, let me 
earnestly exhort you to cultivate with all diligence a 
knowledge of the Word of the Lord, and of the Heavenly 
Doctrines of the New Jerusalem. Learn to shun evils as 
sins against God, to renounce the love of self and of the 
world, and to love the Lord above all things, and your 
neighbor as yourself. For in this way alone will you 
come into communion with the angels, and into conjunc- 
tion with the Lord, and thus enter into everlasting life. 



150 BAPTISM. 



% After the Baptism of Children, the Minister will say to the Parents or Guardians : 

TO you is committed the care of this child, that he may- 
be trained for heaven. As the means, therefore, to 
this end, cause him to be instructed in the Word, and in 
the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem. Let him 
learn by heart the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Command- 
ments, and the Faith of the New Church. Teach him 
to shun evils as sins against God, to renounce the love of 
self and of the world, and to love the Lord above all 
things, and the neighbor as himself. In this way, you 
will promote his happiness in this life, and his eternal 
welfare in the world to come. 

fl When Baptism is administered apart from the Worship in the Church, a 
Selection, Anthem, or Hymn may be sung. In the Baptism of Infants, Psalm 
viii, and in the Baptism of Adults, Psalm cxvi, may be chanted. 

^ TJie Minister may give thanks, saying : 

WE give Thee thanks, O Lord, our Heavenly Father, 
that Thou hast enabled us to obey Thy command in 
the Baptism of Thy servant (or this child). Support him, 
we beseech Thee, in the hour of temptation, that he may 
overcome and be made & pillar of Thy temple, and go no 
more out forever. Amen.

LABOR not for the meat which perisheth, but for that 
meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the 
Son of Man will give unto you : for Him hath the Father 

sealed, the God. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses 
gave you not that bread from heaven, but my Father 

giveth you the true bread from heaven : for the bread 
6f God is He that cometh down from heaven, and giveth 
life to the world. I am the bread of life: he that cometh 
unto me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on 
me shall never thirst. I am the bread which came 
down from heaven. Verily, verily, I say unto you: He 
that believeth on me hath everlasting life: I am that 
bread of life. Your fathers did eat the manna in the 
wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh 
down from heaven, that one may eat thereof, and not 
die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven ; 
if any one eat of this bread, he shall live forever : and 
the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give 
for the life of the world. Verily, verily, I say unto you: 
Except ye eat the flesh of the Bon of Man, and drink 
His blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my 
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life ; and I 
will raise him up at the last day : for my flesh is meat 
indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth 
my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I 
in him.— John vi. 27, 32, 33, 35, 41, 47-51, 53-56.

they were eating, Jesus took Bread, and blessing brake 
it, and gave to the disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is 
my Body. And He took the Cup ; and giving thanks, 
He gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of it: for this is 
My Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many, 
unto the remission of sins.

hast taken to Thee Thy great power, and hast reigned. 

J Giving the Wine, the Minister will say : 

This Cup is the New Covenant in My Blood, which 
is shed for you. 

r Then may be read the following : 

PEACE I leave with you ; my peace I give unto you : 
not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not 
your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have 
heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come unto 
you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, 
I go unto the Father : for my Father is greater than I. 
And now I have told you, before it come to pass, that, 
when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I 
will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world 
cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world 
may know that I love the Father ; and as the Father gave 
me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. —

and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain ;

one or more of the following paragraphs. 

THERE was a man sent from God, whose name was 
John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness 
of the Light, that all through him might believe. He 
was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that 
Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth 
every man that cometh into the world. He was in the 
world, and the world was made by Him, and the world 
knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own 
received Him not. But as many as received Him, to 
them gave He power to become children of God, even 
to them that believe on His name: who were born, not 
of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of 
man, but of God. — John i. 6-13. 

VERILY, verily, I say unto thee: Except a man be 
born of water and of Spirit, he can not enter into 
the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh 
is flesh ; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 

(159) 



160 CONFIRMATION. 



Marvel not that I said unto thee : Ye must be born 
again. The Spirit doth breathe where it willeth, and thou 
nearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it 
cometh, and whither it goeth : so is every one that is 
born of the Spirit. — John iii. 5-8. 

ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch can not 
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine : no 
more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye 
are the branches : he that abideth in me, and I in him, 
the same bringeth forth much fruit ; for without me 
ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is 
cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men 
gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they 
are burned. If ye abide in me, and my w T ords abide 
in you, ye shall ask w 7 hat ye will, and it shall be done 
unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear 
much fruit ; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father 
hath loved me, so have I loved you ; continue ye in my 
love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in 
my love; even as I have kept my Father's command- 
ments, and abide in His love. — John xv. 4-10. 

Y sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they 
follow me : and I give unto them eternal life ; and 
they shall never perish, neither shall any one pluck them 
out my hand. My Father who gave them me, is 
greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out 
of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one. — John

MARRIAGE. 



f Vie persons to be married, standing before the Minister, the woman at the right 
hand of the man, tlie Minister will say : 

HE who made them at the beginning, made them male 
and female, and said : For this cause shall a man 
leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and 
they twain shall be one flesh. Wherefore they are no 
more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath 
joined together, let not man put asunder. 

MARRIAGE is the union of one man and one woman 
in the bonds of conjugial love. Conjugial love 
descends from heaven, and originates in the union of 
Divine Love and Divine Wisdom in the Lord. From 
tli is union flows the marriage of goodness and truth in 
the minds and lives of the angels, and this is the essence 
of marriages in heaven, and the source of conjugial unions 
on the earth. 

Marriage, from this origin, is a holy state, uniting two 
minds into one mind, and two lives into one life. To 
Fulfill the Divine end of its institution, and to enjoy its 
blessedness, the husband and wife must be delivered from 
the love of self and of the world, and become established 
in supreme love to the Lord, and in mutual love to each 

other. Self love and the love of the world separate them,

first in their interior affections and thoughts, and then in 
the outward conduct of their lives. But love to the Lord 
and to one another conjoins them more and more, first in 
their affections and thoughts, and then in every word and 
work, and by this conjunction are laid in them the 
foundations of the Church and of the Heavens. 

ft To the Bridegroom and to the Bride the Minister will say: 

YOU have come before the Lord that your mutual con- 
sent to be united together as Husband and Wife in 
the holy bonds of marriage may be consecrated accord- 
ing to the laws of Divine order, and duly witnessed and 
confirmed. Wherefore I ask: Do you now pledge your 
love and plight your faith, each to the other, so that 
from being twain, ye may become one in affection, in 
thought, and in life ? 

ft Each will answer : 

I do. 

ft Addressing the man by his Christian name, the Minister will say : 

WILT thou have this woman for thy married wife : 
wilt thou love, honor, and comfort her, and cleave 
unto her alone, that ye may live together in the holy 
state of marriage, according to the ordinance of God ?

Thee, with Thy blessing Thy servants now joined in the 
marriage covenant. Unite their hearts in love to Thee 
and to one another. Open their eyes upon their relations

their sorrows ; increase their joys, and confirm them more 
and more in every good word and work. Inspire them 
continually with conjugial love ; give them one heart, 
one mind, and one way. Lead them in the paths of 
righteousness and peace, to the fullness of joy in the life 
everlasting. Amen.

| Then thaU the Minister read from the Word one or more of the following para- 
graphs, 

I AM the Resurrection and the Life. He that believeth 
in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and 
whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die. — 
John xi. 25. 

NOW that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at 
the bush, when he called the Lord, the God of Abra- 
ham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For 
He is not a God of the dead, but of the living : for to 
Him all are living. — Luke xx. 37. 

LET not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, 
believe also in me. In my Father's house are many 
mansions ; if not I would have told you : I go to prepare 
a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for 
you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; 
that where I am, ye may be also. — John xiv. 1. 

LAY not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, w T here 
moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break 
through and steal ; but lay up for yourselves treasures in 
heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and 
where thieves do not break through nor steal : for where 
your treasure is, there will your heart be also. — Matt, 
vi. 19. 

LET your loins be girded about, and your lights burn- 
ing: and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for 
their lord, when he shall return from the wedding ; that, 
when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him 
immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord 



170 BURIAL OF THE DEAD. 

when he cometh shall find watching. Verily I say unto 
you: That he shall gird himself, and make them to sit 
down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And 
if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third 
watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. — 
Luke xii. 35. 

AND behold, I come quickly ; and my reward is with 
me, to give every one according as his work shall be. 
I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the 
First and the Last. Blessed are they that do His com- 
mandments; that they may have right to the tree of 
Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. — 
Rev. xxii. 12. 

fl At the funeral of a young child, with portions of the foregoing, the following 
will be read : 

0LORD our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all 
the earth! which resoundeth Thy majesty to the 
heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast 
Thou ordained strength because of Thine enemies, to still 
the foe and the avenger. When I see Thy heavens, the 
work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou 
hast established; what is man, that Thou rememberest 
him ? or the son of man, that Thou visitest him ? Yet 
Thou makest him a little less than God : and crownest 
him with glory and honor. — Psalm viii. 

JESUS said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and 
forbid them not : for of such is the kingdom of God. 
Verily I say unto you : Whosoever shall not receive the 
kingdom of God as a little child, shall in nowise enter 
therein. — Luke xviii. 16. 



BURIAL OF THE DEAD. 171 

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; 
for I say unto you, That their angels in heaven do always 
behold the face of my Father who Is in heaven. 

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in 
heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. — 
Matt xviii. 10. 

4 XD I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount 
jl\. Sion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thou- 
sand, having His Father's name written in their fore- 
heads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice 
of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder : and 
I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 
and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, 
and before the four living ones, and the elders: and no 
man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and 
four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. . . 
These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He 
goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being 
the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their 
mouth was found no guile : for they are without fault 
before the throne of God. — Rev. xiv. 1. 

f The Minister at his option will read the folloicing from the Doctrines, or parts 
of the same, or give other instruction. 

Dortrtnc of ti)e Resurrection, 

MAN is so created, that as to his internal he can not die, for 
he is capable of believing in God, and also of loving God, 
and thus of being conjoined with God by faith and love; and to 
be conjoined with God is to live to eternity. 

Tins internal is with every man who is born; his external is 
that by means of which he brings into effect the things which 



172 BURIAL OF THE DEAD. 

are of faith and love. The internal is called the spirit, and the 
external is called the body. The external, which is called the 
body, is accommodated to uses in the natural world: this is 
rejected when man dies: but the internal, which is called the 
spirit, is accommodated to uses in the spiritual world ; this does 
not die. The internal is then a good spirit and an angel, if the 
man had been good when in the world ; but an evil spirit, if the 
man had been evil when in the world. 

The spirit of man, after the death of the body, appears in the 
spiritual world in the human form, altogether as in the world ; 
he enjoys also the faculty of seeing, of hearing, of speaking, of 
feeling, as in the world; and he is endowed with every faculty 
of thinking, of willing, and of acting as in the world. In a 
word, he is a man as to all things and every particular, except 
that he is not encompassed with that gross body which he had 
in the world; he leaves this when he dies, nor does lie ever 
resume it. 

This continuation of life is what is understood by the Resur- 
rection. Men believe that they are not to rise again before the 
last judgment, and that then every visible object of the world is to 
perish, because they have not understood the Word ; and because 
sensual men place their life in the body, and believe that unless 
this were to live again, it would be all over with the man. 

The life of man after death is the life of his love and the 
life of his faith ; hence such as his love and such as his faith 
were, when he lived in the world, such his life remains to 
eternity. It is the life of hell with those who have loved them- 
selves and the world above all things, and the life of heaven 
with those who have loved God above all things and their 
neighbors as themselves. The latter have faith, but the former 
have no faith. The life of heaven is called eternal life, and the 
life of hell is called spiritual death. 

That man lives after death, the Word teaches, as that God is 
not the God of the dead, but of the living. Matt. xxii. 31. That 



BURIiX OF Tin: DEAD. 173 

Lazarus after death was taken up into heaven, but the rich man 
east into hell, Luke \vi. 22, 23, and the following verses. That 
Abraham, rsaac, and Jacob are there, Matt. viii. 11; xxii. 31, 
32; Luke xx. 37, 38. That Jesus said to the thief: To-day shalt 
thou be with me in Paradise, Luke xxiii. 43. — [II. D. 223.] 

TFIAT which is material does not live of itself, but only that 
which is spiritual: therefore whatever lives in man is his 
spirit, and the body only serves this, as an instrument is sub- 
servient to a living, moving force. Since then every thing that 
lives in the body, and, from life, acts and feels, belongs exclu- 
sively to the spirit, and nothing of it to the body, it follows that 
the spirit is the real man; or, what is the same thing: Man 
considered in himself is a spirit, and the spirit is also in a form 
similar to that of the body ; for whatever lives and feels in man 
belongs to his spirit, and every thing in him, from the head 
to the sole of his foot, lives and feels. Consequently, when the 
body is separated from its spirit, which is called dying, the man 
still continues to be a man, and to live. 

When the body is no longer able to perform its functions in 
the natural world, corresponding with the thoughts and affections 
of its spirit, which it has from the spiritual world, then man is 
said to die. This takes place when the motions of the lungs 
and of the heart cease ; but still man does not die, but is only 
separated from the corporeal part which was of use to him in 
the world ; for man himself lives. It is said that man himself 
lives, because man is not man from the body, but from the spirit, 
since the spirit thinks in man, and thought with affection makes 
the man. Hence it is evident that man, when he dies, only 
passes from one world into another. Therefore death, in the 
Word, in the internal sense, signifies the resurrection and the 
continuation of life. 

And when man thus passes from the natural into the spiritual 
world, he takes with him all things belonging to him as a man 
except his earthly body. For when he enters the spiritual 
world, or the life after death, he is in a body as he w r as in the 



174 BURIAL OF THE DEAD. 

natural world ; and, to all appearance, in the same body, since 
neither touch nor sight can detect any difference. But in 
reality his body is spiritual, and thus is separated from the 
things of earth and refined ; and when what is spiritual touches 
and sees what is spiritual, it is the same to the sense as when 
what is natural touches and sees what is natural. Hence when 
a man first becomes a spirit, he is not aware that he has de- 
ceased, and believes that he is still in the body which he had 
when he was in the world. A human spirit also enjoys every 
external and internal sense which he had in the world. He sees 
as before ; he hears and speaks as before ; he smells and tastes 
as before ; and when he is touched, he feels as before. He also 
longs, wishes, thinks, reflects, is affected, loves, and wills as 
before ; and he who is delighted with studies, reads and writes as 
before; and, in a word, when a man passes from one life into 
the other, or from one world into the other, it is the same as if he 
passed from one place to another; and he carries with him all 
things which he had in himself as a man: therefore, after death, 
which is only the death of the earthly body, it can not be said 
that man has lost any thing that belonged to himself. 

i^eaben ant* 3^elL 

THEKE are two things which constitute the life of man's 
spirit : Love and faith : Love constituting the life of his 
will, and Faith the life of his understanding. The love of good, 
and the faith of truth thence derived, constitute the life of 
heaven; and the love of evil, and the faith of what is false 
thence derived, constitute the life of hell. 

Love to the Lord and love toward the neighbor constitute 
Heaven, and so does faith, so far as it has life from these loves. 
And forasmuch as each of these loves and the faith thence de- 
rived is from the Lord, it is evident that the Lord constitutes 
Heaven. 

Heaven is with every one according to his reception of love 
and faith from the Lord ; and those who receive heaven from 



BURIAL OF THE DEAD, 175 

the Lord whilst they live in the world, come into beaver after 
death. 

Those who receive heaven from the Lord are those who have 
heaveiff ill themselves; for heaven is in man, as the Lord also 
teaches: They shall not say: The kingdom of God, lo, it is 
lure ! or lo, there ! for behold the kingdom of God is in you, 
Luke xvii. 21. 

HEAVEN with man resides in his internal, thus in willing and 
thinking from love and faith, and thence in his external, which 
consists in acting and speaking from love and faith. But it 
does not reside in the external, without being in the internal; 
for all hypocrites are capable of acting and speaking well, but 
not of willing well and thinking well. 

When man comes into the other life, which takes place im- 
mediately after death, it is then manifest whether heaven is in 
him, but not whilst he lives in the world. For in the world the 
external appears, but not the internal ; but in the other life the 
internal is made manifest, because man then lives as to his 
spirit. 

Eternal happiness, which is also called heavenly joy, is im- 
parted to those who are in love and faith to the Lord, from the 
Lord ; this love and this faith have in them this joy, into which 
the man who has heaven in himself comes after death ; in the 
meantime it lies stored up, in his internal. In the heavens 
there is the communion of all goods; the peace, the intelligence, 
the wisdom, and the happiness of all, are communicated to 
every one therein, yet to every one according to his reception 
of love and faith from the Lord. Hence it appears how great 
the peace, intelligence, wisdom, and happiness of heaven are. 

As love to the Lord, and love toward our neighbor, constitute 
the life of heaven with man, so the love of self and the love of 
the world, when they reign, constitute the life of hell with him, 
for these latter loves are opposite to the former. Wherefore 
those with whom the loves of self and of the world reign, are 
incapable of receiving any thing from heaven ; but the things 



176 BURIAL OF THE DEAD. 

which they receive are from hell; for whatever a man loves, 
and whatever he believes, is either from heaven or from hell. 

Those with whom the loves of self and of the world reign, do 
not understand the nature of heaven and the happiness of heaven, 
and it appears incredible to them that happiness should be given 
in any other loves than in these, when yet the happiness of 
heaven only enters, so far as these loves, as ends are removed. 
The happiness which succeeds on their removal is so great, that 
it exceeds all human comprehension. 

The life of man can not be changed after death, but then 
remains such as it was in the world ; for the whole spirit of man 
is such as his love is, and infernal love can not be transcribed 
into heavenly love, becaue they are opposite: this is understood 
by the words of Abraham to the rich man in hell: There is a 
great gulf between us and you, so that they who would pass to 
you can not, neither can they pass from thence to us. Luke 
xvi. 26. Hence it is plain, that those who come into hell 
remain there to eternity, and that those who come into heaven 
remain there to eternity. — [H. D. 230.] 

fJlHE Lord from mercy leads every one who receives Him; 
-L and they receive Him who live according to the laws of 
Divine order, which are the precepts of love and faith. To be 
thus led by the Lord from infancy to the end of life in the 
world, and afterward to eternity — is meant by mercy. Let all 
know and remember, therefore, that every man is born for 
heaven ; and that he is received into heaven who receives heaven 
in himself while in this world, and that he is excluded who 
does not receive it. — [H. H. 420.] 

Cfje State of tijose tofjo trie in Infancy. 

EVERY infant, wheresoever he is born, whether within the 
church or out of it, whether of pious parents or of impious, 
when he dies is received by the Lord, and is educated in heaven, 
and according to Divine order, is taught and imbued with the 
affections of good, and by them with the knowledge of truth ; 



BURIAL OF THE DEAD. 177 

ami afterward, as he is perfected in intelligence and wisdom, he 
ia introduced Into heaven, and becomes an angel. Every one 
who thinks from reason may know that no one La born for hell, 
but that all are born for heaven, and that man himself ifl in 
fault if he comes into hell ; bat that infants can not as yet be in 
any fault. 

INFANTS who die are equally infants in the other life: they 
have a like infantile mind, a like innocence in ignorance, and a 
like tenderness in all things; they are only in the rudiments of 
the capacity of becoming angels : for infants are not angels, but 
they may become angels. For every one who goes out of the 
world is in a like state of his own life : an infant in the state of 
an infant, a child in the state of a child, a youth, a man, and 
an old man, in the state of a youth, a man, and an old man, but 
the state of each is afterward changed. But the state of infants 
excels the state of all others in this, that they are in innocence, 
and that evil from actual life is not yet rooted in them ; inno- 
cence also is such that all things of heaven may be implanted 
in it, for innocence is the receptacle of the truth of faith, and 
of the good of love. 

Infants, as soon as they are raised up, which takes place soon 
after their decease, are taken into heaven and delivered to angels 
who are of the female sex, who in the life of the body tenderly 
loved infants, and at the same time loved God; these, because 
in the world they loved all infants from a sort of maternal ten- 
derness, receive them as their own : and the infants also, from 
an innate disposition, love them as their own mothers. . . . 
Alter the first age is past, they are transferred into another 
heaven, where they are instructed by masters, and so on. 

AT ANY may suppose that infants remain infants in heaven, 
-1^-"- and they are as infants among the angels. Those who do 
not know what constitutes angels may have been confirmed in 
this opinion, from the images sometimes seen in temples, where 
angels are exhibited as infants. But the truth is altogether 
Otherwise. Intelligence and wisdom constitute the angel, and 



178 BURIAL OF THE DEAD. 

until infants have intelligence and wisdom, they are indeed 
with angels, yet they are not angels. But when they become 
intelligent and wise, then first they become angels. . . Intel- 
ligence and wisdom produce this effect. Infants as they are per- 
fected in intelligence and wisdom, appear more adult, thus as 
youths and young men, because intelligence and wisdom are 
real spiritual nourishment; consequently the things which 
nourish their minds also nourish their bodies, and this from cor- 
respondence ; for the form of the body is but the external form 
of the interiors. 

It ought to be known that infants in heaven do not advance 
in age beyond early youth, and that they remain in this to 
eternity.— H. H. 340. 

BESIDES, infants do not know that they were born in the 
world, but they believe that they were born in heaven ; con- 
sequently they know of no other birth than the spiritual birth, 
which is effected by the knowledges of good and truth, and by 
intelligence and wisdom, from which man is man ; and because 
these are from the Lord, they believe, and love to believe, that 
they are the children of the Lord Himself. But still the state 
of men who grow up on earth may become equally as perfect as 
the state of infants who grow up in heaven, if they remove cor- 
poreal and earthly loves, which are the loves of self and of the 
world, and in their place receive spiritual loves. — H. H. 345.

THOSE who are in heaven are continually advancing to the 
spring of life; and to a spring so much the more delightful 
and happy, the more thousands of years they live, and this to 
eternity, with augmentations according to the progressions and 
degrees of their love, their charity, and their faith. Women 
who have died old and worn out with age, and who had lived in 
faith in the Lord, in charity toward the neighbor, and in happy 
conjugial love with a husband, after a succession of years, come

more and more into the bloom of youth, and into a beauty sur- 
passing every idea of beauty ever seen by the eye. . . . [n a 
word, to grow old in heaven is to growyoung. Those who have 

lived in love to the Lord, and in charity toward the neighbor, 
become such forms, or BUCh beauties, in the other life. All the 
angels are such forms with innumerable variety ; and of these 
heaven consists. — 11. II. 414.

the way of peace : Unfold to us the ways of Thy merciful 
Providence, and stay our souls on Thee, our everlasting

things we may receive the life of Thy Heavenly King-

them by Thy Word to the Living Fountain of waters, 
and wipe away all tears from their eyes. 

By this visitation of Thy Providence, promote, we 
beseech Thee, the spiritual welfare of each one of us, and 
further our preparation for the life which shall endure 
forever ; that when we are gathered to our fathers, we 
may be received into heaven, and dwell in Thy house 
forever. Amen.

FORASMUCH as it hath pleased the Lord in His good Provi- 
dence to remove our Brother [or Sister, or this child] to the 
spiritual world, we do therefore commit the body to the grave, 
earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. As the natural 
body is dissolved, the spiritual body is released and lifted up. 
Death is therefore the gate of life. He is not here, he is risen. 
The Lord hath raised him from the dead to live in the spiritual 
world forever. 

JESUS said : I am the Resurrection, and the Life. He that 
belie vet h in me, though he. were dead, yet shall he live: 
and whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die. 

AND I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me: Write: 
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. 
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors ; and 
their works do follow with them. 

If The Minister will then pronounce the Benediction : 

THE grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. 
Amen.

And uphold thee out of Zion. 
Remember all thy meat-offerings :

Grant thee according to thine heart: 

And fulfill all thy counsel. 
We will rejoice in Thy salvation, 

And in the name of our God we will set up banners: 
The Lord fulfill all thy petitions. 
Now know I that the Lord saveth His anointed : 
That He heareth from the heavens of His holiness: 
With the saving might of His right hand. 
Some in chariots and some in horses: 

But we will make mention of the name of the Lord our

But we are risen and stand upright. %

For Thou makest him a blessing forever :

The Lord shall swallow them up in His anger ! 
And the fire shall devour them. 
Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from the earth : 

And their seed from the sons of man.

Be not angry with him that prospereth in his way: 

With the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 
Leave off from anger, and forsake wrath : 

Be not angry to do evil : 
For evil doers shall be cut off: 

But they that hope in the Lord possess the land. 
But yet a little while and the wicked is not : 

Thou considerest His place, and it is not. 
But the afflicted possess the earth as inheritance. 

And delight themselves with the abundance of peace. 
The wicked plotteth against the just: 

And gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 
The Lord laugheth at him : 

For he seeth that his day is coming. 
The wicked draw out the sword : 

And bend their bow. 
To cast down the afflicted and needy : 

To slay the upright in the way. 
Their sword entereth into their own heart : 

And their bows are broken. 
The little good of the just : 

Is better than the heap of many wicked. 
For the arms of the wicked are broken : 

But the Lord upholdeth the just. 
The Lord knoweth the days of the perfect : 

And their inheritance shall be forever. 
They are not ashamed in the time of evil : 

And in the days of famine they are satisfied. 



LIFE. 239 

For the wicked shall perish : 
Ami the enemies of the Lord shall be consumed as the 

DlOSt precious of lambs: 

In smoke shall they be consumed. 
The wicked borroweth and payeth not again : 
But the just is gracious and giveth. 

For the blessed of hi in possess the earth as inheritance : 
And the cursed of him are cut off*. 

PSALM XXXVII. 23-40. 

") ^P^^ steps of a man are made firm by the Lord : 

J_ And His way is delightful unto him. 
Though he fall, he is not utterly cast down : 
For the Loud upholdeth his hand. 

1 have been young, and am old : 

Yet I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed beg- 
ging bread. 
He is gracious and lendeth : 

And his seed is a blessing. 
Depart from evil and do good : 

And thou shalt dwell forever more. 
For the Lord loveth judgment : 

And forsaketh not His saints. 
They are kept forever: 

But the seed of the wicked is cut off. 
The just shall possess the earth as inheritance : 

And dwell therein forever. 
The mouth of the just doth meditate wisdom: 

And his tongue talketh judgment. 
The law of his God is in his heart : 

His steps do not falter. 
The wicked watcheth the just: 

And seeketh to kill him. 
The Lord leaveth him not in his hand : 

And condemneth him not in his judgment. 
Wait on the Lord : 

And keep 1 1 is way. 
And Pie will exalt thee to possess the earth as inheritance: 

When the wicked are cut oil* thou shalt see. 



240 THE PSALTER. 



I have seen the wicked causing dread : 

Spreading himself like green native trees. 
Yea, I sought him, and he was not found: 

Mark the perfect, for the end of that man is peace. 
But the transgressors are destroyed together : 

The end of the wicked is cut off. 
But the salvation of the just is of the Lord : 

He is their strength in the time of distress. 
And the Lord helpeth and delivereth them, 

He delivereth them from the wicked and saveth them 
Because they confide in Him. 

PSALM LXXIII. 

36 T^ULY, God is good to Israel : 
_L To such as are of a pure heart. 
But as for me, my feet were almost turned aside : 

My steps had well-nigh slipped. 
When I w r as zealous against the boastful : 

And saw the peace of the wicked. 
For there are no bands until their death : 

But their strength is fat. 
They have not the trouble of man : 

Neither with man are they plagued. 
Therefore, pride is their necklace : 

Violence covereth them as an ornament. 
Their eye standeth out with fatness : 

The imaginations of their heart exceed all bounds. 
They mock, and speak in evil of oppression : 

They speak loftily. 
They have set their mouth in the heavens : 

And their tongue wandereth through the earth. 
Therefore, His people is turned hither : 

And waters in full are w r rung out to them. 
And they say, how doth God know : 

Or, is there knowledge in the Most High? 
Behold, these are the w T icked : 

And the careless of the heart do multiply. 
Truly, I have cleansed my heart in vain : 

And washed my palms in innocency. 



LIFE. 241 

For all the day long have I been plagued: 
And my reproof was in the mornings. 

If 1 should say, I will speak out as they: 

1 should be traitorous to the generation of thy sons. 
When I thought to know this : 

It was a trouble in mine eyes. 
Until I went into the sanctuaries of God : 

Then understood I their end. 
Surely, Thou dost set them in slippery places: 

Thou dost east them down into destructions. 
How arc they brought into desolation in a moment! 

They are snatched away, they are consummated by terrors. 
As a dream when one awakcth, O Lord: 

When Thou art stirred up, Thou wilt despise their image. 
For my heart was soured: 

And I was pricked in my reins. 
But I was foolish, and did not know: 

I was as a beast with Thee. 
But I am continually with Thee : 

Thou boldest me by my right hand. 
Thou guidest me in Thy counsel : 

And afterward receivest me in glory. 
Whom have I in the heavens? 

And, beside Thee, I have no delight in the earth. 
My flesh and my heart are consumed: 

God is the rock of my heart, and my part forever. 
For lo ! they that are far from Thee shall perish: 

Thou wilt cut off all that go a whoring from Thee. 
But it is good for me to draw near unto God : 

I put my confidence in the Lord Jehovah, to declare all 
Thy works. 

PSALM XC. 

37 T orvD ' Thou art our hal)itation: 

1 1 From generation to generation. 
Before the mountains were brought forth, 

And Thou hast formed the earth and the world: 

Even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God! 
Thou turuest man to destruction: 
And sayest, Return, ye sons of man. 



242 THE PSALTER. 



For a thousand years in Thine eyes are as yesterday, when 
it is past : 

And as a watch in the night. 
Thou earnest them away as with a flood : 

They are asleep. 
In the morning as grass groweth up, 

In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up : 
In the evening it is cut down and withereth. 
For we are consumed in Thine anger : 

And in Thy wrath are we troubled. 
Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee : 

Our secrets in the light of Thy countenance. 
For all our days pass away in Thy fury : 

We consume our years as a meditation. 
The days of our years are three-score years anej ten : 

And if, by reason of might, four-score years : 
Yet is their pride trouble and vanity : 

For it is soon cut off, and we flee away. 
Who knoweth the strength of Thine anger ? 

And as Thy fear, so Thy fury. 
So make us to know the number of our days : 

And we shall acquire a heart of wisdom. 
Eeturn, O Lord, how long ? 

And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants. 
Oh, satisfy us in the morning with mercy : 

That we may sing for joy and be glad in all our days. 
Make us glad according to the days Thou hast afflicted us : 

The years we have seen evil. 
Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants: 

And Thy honor upon their sons. 
And let the loveliness of the Lord our God be upon us, 

And establish Thou the work of our hands upon us : 
Yea, the work of our hands establish Thou. 

PSALM CXI. 
3g "pRAISE ye the Lord : 

_L I will confess the Lord with my whole heart : 
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation. 
Great are the works of the Lord : 
Sought out of all that delight "therein. 



LIFE. 243 

1 [is work is majesty and honor : 

And His justice endureth forever. 
Be hath made a remembrance iri His wonderful works: 

Gracious and merciful is the Loud. 

He hath given prey unto them that fear Him: 

He will remember 1 1 is covenant forever. 
He hath showed His people the power of His works : 

To give to them the heritage of the nations. 
The works of His hands are truth and judgment: 

Faithful are all His precepts. 
They stand fast forever and ever. 

They are done in truth and uprightness. 
He sent a ransom unto His people : 

He commanded His covenant forever: 
Holy and fearful is His name. 
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, 

A good understanding have all they that do them : 
His praise endureth forever. 

PSALM CXII. 

PPvATSE ye the Lord, 
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord : 
That delighteth greatly in His commandments. 
His seed shall be mighty in the earth : 

The generation of the upright shall be blessed. 
Wealth and riches shall be in His house : 

And His justice endureth forever. 
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: 

His is gracious, and merciful, and just. 
A good man who is gracious and lendeth : 

Will maintain his words with judgment. 
For he shall not be moved forever: 

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance. 
He shall not be afraid of evil report: 

His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. 
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid : 

Until he have seen his adversaries. 
He distributed!, he giveth to the needy : 

His justice endureth forever: 

His horn shall be exalted with glory. 



244 THE PSALTER. 



The wicked shall see and be vexed : 

He shall gnash with his teeth and melt away:- 
The longing of the wicked shall perish. 

PSALM CXXXIX. 

39 C\ Lord, Thou searchest me and knowest me: 

\J Thou knowest my sitting, and my rising. 
Thou understandest my thought from afar off: 

Thou explorest my path and my lying down : 
And Thou art familiar with all my ways : 

For there is not a speech on my tongue, but lo! O Lord, 
Thou knowest it all. 
Thou formest me behind and before : 

And layest Thy hand upon me. 
Knowledge too wonderful for me : 

It is high, I am not sufficient unto it. 
Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit ? 

And whither shall 1 flee from Thy faces ? 
If I ascend into the heavens, Thou art there ! 

And if make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there! 
I take the wings of the dawn : 

I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea. 
Even there Thy hand doth lead me : 

And Thy right hand doth lead me. 
And I say, surely darkness shall overcome me! 

But the night is light for me. 
Even darkness doth not make darkness before Thee : 

And the night giveth light as the day. 
As the darkness so is the light: 

For Thou dost possess my reins. 
Thou didst cover me in the womb of my mother : 

I will confess Thee, because that by fearful things I have 
been wonderfully made. 
Wonderful are Thy works ! 

And my soul knoweth it well. 
My bone was not concealed from Thee : 

When I was made in secret. 
I was curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth. 

Thine eyes beheld my unformed substance. 



COMING OF THE LORD. 2 16 

Ami in Thy book were written all the days in which they 
were formed : 
And not one of them is wanting. 

And unto me how precious arc Thy thoughts, () Godl 

How mighty is the sum of them ! 
I count them, they arc more in number than the sand: 

I awake, and am still with Thee. 
Surely Thou wilt slay the wicked, (3 God ! 

And ye men of blood, depart from me: 
Who speak against Thee with evil design: 

Thine enemies rise up to vanity. 
Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate Thee? 

Do 1 not Loathe those who rise up against Thee? 
With the extreme of hatred do I hate them : 

They are foes unto me. 
Search me, O God, and know my heart: 

Prove me, and know my thoughts : 
And see if a way of pain be in me : 

And lead me in the way of eternity. 

PSALM L. 

zJ.Q rjlHE God of gods, the Lord, doth speak : 

_L And calleth the earth from the rising of the sun unto 

the going down thereof: 
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God doth beam. 
Our God cometh, and keepeth not silence, 

A fire devoureth before His faces. 
He calleth to the heavens from above: 

And to the earth, to judge His people. 
Gather my saints unto me : 

Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 
And the heavens shall shew forth His justice: 

For God, He is the judge. Selah. 
Hear, oh, my people, and I will speak: 

Oh, Israel, and will testify against thee, I am God, thy God. 
I will not reprove Thee for Thy sacrifice- : 

And Thy burnt-offerings continually before me. 
I will take no bullock out of Thy house: 

Nor he goats out of Thy folds. 



24(3 THE PSALTER. 

For every wild beast of the forest is mine : 

The beasts on a thousand mountains. 
I know all the fowl of the mountains: 

And the wild beasts of the fields are with me. 
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee : 

For the world is mine, and the fullness thereof. 
Will I eat of the flesh of the mighty : 

Or drink the blood of he goats? 
Sacrifice unto God confession : 

And pay Thy vows to the Most High. 
And call upon me in the day of distress: 

I will draw thee out, and thou shalt glorify me. 
But unto the wicked God saith, tell my statutes, 

What is it to thee to tell: 

And that thou takest my covenant into thy mouth ? 
And hatest chastisement : 

And castest my words behind thee? 
When thou seest a thief, thou dost run with him : 

And thy part is with adulterers. 
Thou openest thy mouth unto evil : 

And thy tongue frameth deceit. 
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother, 

And against the son of thy mother thou utterest slander : 
These things thou doest, and I keep silence. 
Thou thinkest me to be altogether like thyself: 

I will rebuke thee and set it in order before thine eyes. 
Xow consider this, oh, ye that forget God : 

Lest I tear in pieces and none rescue. 
Whoso sacrificeth confession, glorifieth me: 

And to him that disposeth his way, will I show the salva- 
tion of God.

Hearken to the voice of my cry, my | King and my | God : 
For unto | Thee | do I \ pray. 

2 O Lord, hear my voice in the | morn | ing: 

In the morning I ad | dress Thee and | look | up. 

For Thou art not a God that delightest in | wicked | ness : 

The evil a | bideth | not with | Thee. 

3 The boastful stand not be | fore Thine | eyes : 
Thou hatest all | workers of in | iqui | ty : 
Thou destroyest him that | speaketh | falsehood: 

The man of bloods and deceit is an abomi | nation | to the | 
Lord. 

4 But as for me, I come into Thine house in the multitude of 

Thy | mer | cy : 
In Thy fear do I worship toward the j temple of Thy | holi |

O Lord, lead me in Thy justice because of mine

4 Ashamed are all they that serve graven images that boast

Zion heareth, and is glad, the daughters of | Judahex I ult: 
Because of | Thy | judgments, O | Lord. 

5 For Thou, O Lord, art most high above j all the | earth : 
Thou art greatly ex | alted a | bove all | gods. 

Oh, ye that love the | Lord, hate | evil : 
He keepeth the souls of His saints, He rescueth | them 
from the I hands of the I wicked.

And your labor for | that which | satisiieth | not ?

That your soul may | feast it | self in | fatness.

The sure loving | kindnesses of | Da | vid. 

7 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the | peo | pies 
A leader and a | law giver | to the | peoples. 

8 Behold, thou shalt call a nation thou | knowest | not: 
And nations that know not | thee, shall | run unto | 

thee. 

9 Because of the | Lord thy | God : 

And for the Holy One of Israel, for | He hath | glori-

Thou art my Son, to-day have | I be | gotten | Thee. 
Ask of me, and I will give the nations for | Thine in |

The ends of the | earth for | Thy pos | session.

I will bow myself down toward the temple of Thy j holi |

Thou en largest | me with | strength in my | soul. 

3 All the kings of the earth shall confess | Thee, O | Lord: 
For they have j heard the | speech of Thy j mouth. 
And they shall sing in the ] ways of the | Lord: 

For great is the | glory | of the | Lord. 

4 For the Lord is exalted, and | seeth the | humble : 
But the proud He | knoweth from a | far | off. 

If I walk in the midst of distress, Thou wilt | vivify | me:

\J His praise in the great assembly to sing : 
In God the Redeemer let Israel rejoice, 
And children of Zion be glad in their King. 

2 From bondage of hell redeemed by His might, 
Rejoice in His grace, His love, and His light: 
For us in His mansions, He maketli a place, 
And with His salvation the humble will bless. 

3 Then worship the King all glorious above, 
And gratefully sing His power and His love :

Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

His wondrous name, and praise rehearse, 
His glories in exalted verse.

Who shall declare Thy boundless praise ? 
How blest the souls that fear Thee still, 
And learn to love and do Thy will.

Let songs of honor be addressed : 
His mercy firm forever stands,

HOLY, holy, holy Lord, 
Be Thy glorious name adored : 
Be Thy praise forever sung, 
In all lands by every tongue. 
All on earth, and all in heaven, 
Render thanks for blessings given : 
Thanks for all Thy mercies shown, 
Thanks and praise to Thee alone. 
Then forever, Lord, to Thee, 
Blessing, praise, and glory be : 
Ever be Thy name adored, 
Holy, holy, holy Lord. 

CAST upon the Lord thy care, 
'Tis enough that He is nigh : 
He will all thy burden bear, 

He will all thy wants supply. 
Call on Him in time of need, 

In His tender love confide : 
He thy soul will safely lead, 

He will be thy Guard and Guide. 
Lord to Thee I will submit, 

Gladly yielding all to Thee : 
What Thy wisdom seeth fit, 

Surely will be best for me.

Joy He gives, and woe He lightens :

3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth 

Will His changeless goodness prove ; 
Through the gloom His brightness streameth :

To Thee we bring our grateful vows, 
To Thee lift up our eyes.

With truth's celestial rays : 
Inspire our hearts with heavenly love,

Through life's perplexing road :' 
And bring us, when our journey's o'er, 
O Lord, to Thine abode !

Fullness of purest joy : 
At Thy right hand unceasing flow 
Pleasures without alloy.

Loads every moment, as it flies, 
With benefits unsought.

For hope's transporting ray, 
Which lights, through darkest shades of death, 
To realms of endless day.

The vigor of thy youth.

There His faithful ones assemble 

And before His footstool bow : 
Behold Him present with us ever, 

When assembled in His Name: 
Aiding every good endeavor, 

Guiding every humble aim. 

2 The Lord is in His holy temple, 

In the church He calls His own: 
In the city where assemble, 

All who worship Him alone. 
The New Jerusalem, all glorious, 

Is the City of our God : 
There Immanuel reigns victorious, 

There He makes His loved abode. 



The Lord is in His holy temple, 

In the heavenly world above : 
Where the saints in light assemble, 

Who are perfected in love. 
And there His life in us ascending, 

Bears us upward in its flow: 
Joys supreme, and never ending, 

Crown the toils endured below.

27 TTAEK! what mean those holy voices, 
XX Sweetly sounding through the skies : 
Lo ! the angelic host rejoices, 
Heavenly hallelujahs rise. 

2 Listen to the wondrous story, 

Which they chant in hymns and joy : 
Glory in the highest, glory, 
Glory be to God on high ! 

3 Peace on earth, good- will from heaven, 

Thus they raise the joyous song: 
Christ is born, the Son is given, 
By the prophets promised long. 

4 Haste, ye mortals, to adore Him, 

Heaven and earth His praises bring ; 
Men and angels fall before Him, 
Hail your Savior, Lord, and King.

IjT Pilgrim through this barren land : 
I am weak, but Thou art mighty, 

Hold me with Thy powerful hand ; 
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, 
Feed me now and evermore. 

2 Open, Lord, the crystal fountain, 

Whence the living waters flow : 
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar 

Guide me all my journey through : 
Strong Deliverer, Strong Deliverer, 

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. 

3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bear me through the swelling current, 

Land me safe on Canaan's side : 
Songs of praises; Songs of praises, 

I will ever give to Thee.

Jj O'er the world's tempestuous sea: 
Guide us, guard us, keep us, feed us, 

For we have no help but Thee : 
Yet possessing every blessing, 

If our God our Father be. 

2 Savior, shed Thy mercy o'er us ; 

All our weakness Thou dost know : 
Thou didst tread the earth before us, 

Thou didst feel its keenest woe : 
Lone and dreary, faint and weary, 

Through the desert Thou didst go. 

3 Spirit of the Lord descending, 

Fill our hearts with heavenly joy : 
Love with every feeling blending, 

Pleasures that can never cloy : 
Thus provided, pardoned, guided, 

Nothing can our peace destroy.

Nor let my head, nor heart, nor hands, 
Offend against my God.

Q J TESUS, I my cross have taken, 
*J All to leave and follow Thee : 
Destitute, despised, forsaken, 

Thou from hence my all shalt be: 
Perish every fond ambition, 

All I've sought, or hoped, or known: 
Yet how rich is my condition ! 

God and heaven are still my own. 

2 I have called Thee Abba, Father, 

I have stayed my heart on Thee : 
Storms may howl, and storms may gather, 

All must work for good to me. 
Man may trouble and distress me, 

'Twill but drive me to Thy breast: 
Life with trials hard may press me, 

Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 

3 Give me, Lord, thy full salvation, 

Free my soul from fear and care : 
Show to me in every station, 

Something good to do or bear. 
Lead me on to endless glory, 

Help my faith and hear my prayer : 
Heaven's bright day, oh keep before me, 

Thine own hand shall guide me there.

Daylight all gone, 

Darkness be over me, 

My rest a stone : 
Yet in my dreams, I'd be 
|| : Xearer, my God, to Thee, : j| 
Xearer to Thee. 



3 There let the way appear 

Steps up to heaven ; 
All that Thou sendest me 

In mercy given : 
Angels to beckon me 
|| : Xearer, my God, to Thee, : || 

Xearer to Thee. 

4 Then with my waking tho'ts 

Bright with Thy praise, 
Out of my stony griefs, 

Bethel I'll raise: 
So by my woes to be 
|| : Xearer, my God, to Thee, : || 

Xearer to Thee.

Y Savior, as Thou wilt, 
O, may Thy will be mine ! 
Into Thy hand of love, 
I would my all resign. 

2 Through sorrow, as through joy, 

Conduct me as Thine own : 
And help me still to say, 
Thy will, O Lord, be done. 

3 My Savior, as Thou wilt ! 

All shall be well for me : 

Each changing future scene; 

I gladly trust with Thee. 

4 Straight to my home above, 

I travel calmly on : 
And sing in life or death, 
Thy will, O Lord, be done. 

^3 fpHY way, not mine, O Lord, 
JL Whate'er that way may be : 
Lead me by Thine own hand, 
And chose the path for me. 

2 And whether rough or smooth, 

It still will be the best : 
Winding or straight it leads. 
Eight onward to Thy rest. 

3 The kingdom that I seek 

Is Thine ; so let the way 
That leads to it be Thine ; 
Else I would surely stray. 

4 Not mine but Thine the way, 

O lead me by Thy Word : 
Be Thou my guide, my strength, 
My wisdom, and my Lord.

IN all my vast concerns with Thee, 
In vain my soul would try 
To shun Thy presence, Lord, or flee 
The notice of Thine eye. 

2 Thine all-surrounding sight surveys 

My rising and my rest : 
My public walks, my private ways, 
And secrets of my breast. 

3 My thoughts lie open to the Lord, 

Before they're formed within: 
And ere my lips pronounce the word, 
He knows the sense I mean. 

4 Oh, wondrous knowledge, deep and high ! 

Where can a creature hide? 
Within Thy circling arms I lie, 
Enclosed on every side. 

5 So let Thy grace surround me still, 

And like a bulwark prove : 
To guard my soul from every ill, 
Secured by sovereign love.

And guard me with a v/atchful eye : 
My noon-day walks He shall attend, 
And all my midnight hours defend.

Or on the thirsty desert pant, 
To fertile vales, and dewy meads, 
My weary, wandering steps He leads : 
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, 
Amid the verdant landscape flow. 

3 Though in the paths of death I tread, 
With gloomy horrors overspread, 
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, 
For Thou, O Lord, art with me still: 
Thy friendly rod shall give me aid, 

And guide me through the dreadful shade.

The gathering storm shall see : 
My steadfast heart shall know no fear, 
That heart shall rest on Thee.

2 So fades a summer cloud away, 

So sinks the gale when storms are o'er : 
So gently shuts the eye of day, 
So dies a wave along the shore. 

3 A holy quiet reigns around, " 

A calm no earthly care destroys: 
Nought can disturb that peace profound, 
Which this unfetter'd soul enjoys. 

4 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears, 

Where light and shade alternate dwell : 
A bright unchanging morn appears ; 
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell.

QJ_ JERUSALEM, the golden ! Oh, city of the West ! 

t) Oh, heavenly land of promise ! the weary pilgrim's rest. 
Safe through the thorny journey ; freed from the strife of sin ; 
Within the walls of jasper ; the pearly gates within. 

2 What peace beyond all telling ; what joy, for them whose feet 
Stand by the crystal river ; and walk the golden street! 
With houghs of palm, like victors, arrayed in robes of white. 
With hymns of glad thanksgiving; they throng the halls of Hl lit. 

3 They thirst not, neither hunger, who gain that bright abode, 
With oil of love anointed ; as kings and priests to God. 
Oh, dear and blessed vision ; the Seer of Patmos tells ! 
What glad and hopeful tidings; the prophet's voice reveals! 

4 Behold the Tabernacle of God is now with men ; 

And He will dwell among them ; and heal their grief and pain. 
And he that overcometh, shall 'be the Father's heir, 
Within the glorious city ; and dwell forever there.

95 mHERE is a land of pure delight, 
J_ Where God the Savior reigns : 
Eternal day excludes the night, 
And pleasures banish pains. 

2 There everlasting spring abides, 

And never-withering flowers : 
Death, like a narrow stream divides, 
This heavenly land from ours. 

3 No cloud those blissful regions know, 

Realms ever bright and fair, 
For sin, the source of mortal woe, 
Can never enter there. 

4 Oh may the heavenly prospect fire 

Our hearts with ardent love, 
Till wings of faith and strong desire 
Bear every thought above.

XX Where storms arise no more : 
The tree of life perennial grows, 
The stream of endless pleasure flows, 
On that celestial shore. 

2 There purity with love appears, 

And bliss without alloy : 
And there the soul is freed from fears, 
And they that oft had sown in tears, 

Bring home their sheaves with joy. 



3 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom, 
And joys supreme are given : 
And there our earthly labors done 
We reap the fruits that we have won, 
And garner them in Heaven.

Who at length attain it 

Through the battle's rage ?

Feed in pastures ever vernal, 
Drink the rivers of Thy grace !

117 pLORY to Thee, Lord, this night, 
\J For all the blessings of the light : 
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, 
Beneath the shadow of Thy wings. 

2 Though storms and darkness veil the sky, 
Still let me feel Thy presence nigh : 

Still let Thy tender care control 
The silent watches of my soul. 

3 And when the dews of kindly sleep, 
My wearied eyelids gently steep : 

Be my last thought, how sweet to rest, 
With Thy Divine protection blest. 

4 From all the weakness of the flesh, 
O Lord, my weary soul refresh : 
And through the coming hours of day, 
Be near to guide me on my way.

118 THUS far the Lord lias led me on, 

X Thus far His power prolongs my days : 
And every evening shall make known 
Some fresh memorial of His grace. 

2 I lay my body down to sleep ; 

Peace be the pillow for my head : 
Oh, let Thy holy angels keep 

Their watchful stations round my bed. 

3 Thy love Divine forbids my fear ; 

Oh, may Thy presence ne'er depart: 
And in the morning may I hear 
Thy loving-kindness in my heart. 

4 And when the night of death shall come, 

Still may I trust Thy mighty love: 
The love which triumphs o'er the tomb, 
And leads to perfect bliss above.

ABIDE with me : fast falls the eventide ; 
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: 
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, 
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. 

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; 
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away : 
Change and decay in all around I see ; 
Oh, Thou who changest not, abide with me. 



3 I need Thy presence every passing hour ; 

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? 
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be ? 
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 

4 Hold Thou Thy Word before my closing eyes ; 
Dispel the gloom, and show the opening skies : 
Heaven's morning soon will break, earth's shadows 
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me ! [flee ;

120 A LORD, our God, to Thee, 
\J Author of Liberty, 

To Thee we sing : 
Long may our land be bright, 
With freedom's holy light ; 
Protect us by Thy might, 

Great God, our King ! 

2 God bless our native land : 
Firm may she ever stand, 

Through storm and night : 
When the wild tempests rave, 
Ruler of wind and wave, 
Do Thou our country save, 

By Thy great might. 

3 For her our prayer shall rise 
To Thee, above the skies, 

On Thee we wait : 
Thou Who art ever nigh, 
Guarding with watchful eye, 
To Thee aloud we cry, 

God save the State.
